Tansky Advanced Auto Body & Paint Center

Just picked up my Taco after a fender bender. These guys were great the process was super easy with my insurance as they were a preferred repair shop. They quoted 4 weeks turn around and I got it back in 3. It looks great and every one I dealt with was very nice. Thanks for making it look like new

Looks to be a shady company , i will never take my car again here ! I wish i had looked at the single star reviews given before , the pattern is repeating ! I brought my vehicle to this body shop after an accident caused by another driver. The shop coordinated with my insurance company and submitted an initial repair estimate of $7,200. Before any repairs, I asked multiple times whether a complete inspection had been performed and whether OEM parts would be used. I did not receive clear responses to these questions. Other than signing a single document at the time of drop-off, I did not explicitly approve any repair work. Based on the initial estimate, my insurance company paid the shop $7,200. When I later reviewed the estimate details, I noticed that some visible damage present at drop-off was not included, such as a cracked windshield, which I had pointed out at the time. A more detailed inspection was conducted only later, after repeated follow-ups from me, and I was then informed that the total repair cost would be significantly higher. At that point, my insurance company determined that the vehicle should be declared a total loss and issued a settlement. The $7,200 previously paid to this shop was deducted from my settlement, even though no repairs were completed and the amount appears to have been charged for disassembly and reassembly only. This resulted in a substantial financial impact to me. I am hugely disappointed by the lack of clear communication upfront, the absence of a thorough inspection before submitting the original estimate, and the fact that my emails eventually went unanswered , makes me believe this company does not care about customer service and looks to be a shady practice!

My passenger side mirror needed repair, Mr. Brad Powell quickly assessed the problem and was able to make the repair and get me back on the road promptly. I highly recommend Tansky Body Shop and will continue to use them for future repairs.

At first I was skeptical due to the other reviews but I'm glad I came here and gave it a shot. I've had good experience and service with the main Tansky Toyota dealership down the street on Sawmill and figured their bodyshop would have the same attributes under the same ownership. My rear tailgate spoiler on my 2018 4Runner broke from offroad damage and needed to be replaced. I am mechanically proficient so I decided to do the swap and installation portion of the repair myself. I ordered the new OEM spoiler panel directly from Toyota parts and as expected came in an unfinished/unpainted raw ABS plastic. It needed to be paint matched to the old damaged spoiler in Magnetic Gray Metallic 1G3. Some bodyshops won't do the job since they prefer to make a margin on sourcing the part themselves or require the entire vehicle to be left there to paint match, which I didn't want to do as I still needed my vehicle. I called Tansky Autobody prior to get an estimate and explain what I wanted to do and Shawn the bodyshop manager was very communicative and thorough with answering my questions. He provided me with a quote on the spot and it was about 25% cheaper than everywhere else I have called, including a reputable local autobody chain. He explained they use the highest quality PPG and OEM spec paints and clear coats and I figured since they primarily work on Toyotas they would have more experience correctly matching a common factory Toyota paint color such as mine. He explained they simply needed just my old damaged spoiler and the new part to accurately match my paint. I then went in and the waiting area has a large bay of windows looking into the main workshop, which is large. I can visibly see in their paint area on the left a full-sized sealed paint booth with proper mixers, panel hangers and drying racks. A lot of other small shops actually don't do their painting in house and outsource it to some large chain, but here Tansky's all done in house with a specialized paint professional. Shawn then helped me inspect the panels I brought and transferred it over to their paint prep, for a quick and easy walk-in experience. The paint job was completed in two days after, and on the third day I received a call from Shawn saying it was ready for pickup, allotting a full 24 hours time to dry and cure. I went in the next morning on the fourth day and the new spoiler was visibly ready on the drying rack. Upon first inspection the paint match was spot on and perfectly matched to my old spoiler, and the clear coat was of high quality. The clear coat is what makes or breaks the quality of an automotive paint job, and here there was a noticeable thickness and weight to the clear while still being smooth and evenly applied. Shawn even went as far as providing some packaging wrap to protect the spoiler for when transporting back home. He then priced the invoice out and it was exactly what he quoted me in the preliminary call. A lot of the price savings is from not needing flex additive in the paint as this was a rigid body panel, which other bodyshops have quoted me extra material and labor costs to increase margins. Modern high quality paints do not require additional flex components anymore as the formulation improved to include those adhesion characteristics. Payment was straightforward, I paid completely out of pocket as this was not an insurance claim so I have no remarks on Tansky and their handling of insurance. I then brought it home and installation was a breeze with the other replacement parts needed and after leaving it to cure for a week longer I was able to wax and wash the panel with no problems. The paint looks exactly like new and blended so well with the rest of the vehicle that it looks like how it was before the damage, even in direct sunlight. Overall I am very happy with Shawn and his team at Tansky Autobody, with the value, quality job, timeliness and communication, and their ability to handle a special customer request with complete understanding and professionalism. I would come back for any future Toyota repairs!

Best place to get your Toyota fixed in Columbus. Friendly and helpful staff and professional service. They do all dealing with insurance and support pretty much most of them. My car was fixed properly but was not clean when I got it, probably may be because I keep it more clean. Staff was responsible and got it fixed for me soon. I would recommend this place first if you are looking for a Toyota bodyshop in Columbus.
